Etoent PG 75mg/60mg Tablet SR is a combination medicine used to treat neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury or diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Also, it is used to treat fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and tenderness) and post-herpetic neuralgia (lasting pain in the areas of skin where you has shingles). Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensation is also common with neuropathic pain.
Etoent PG 75mg/60mg Tablet SR is a combination of Etoricoxib (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and Pregabalin (anticonvulsant). Etoricoxib works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation, such as redness and swelling. Pregabalin affects the chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system. It works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels; this helps in relieving nerve pain. Together, Etoent PG 75mg/60mg Tablet SR helps in providing relief from pain.
